What’s up with us?
Why are we so Tourism Commission happy all of the sudden? A couple of reasons the biggest one being we went to a party and had lots of free rum punch.
But also because we learned lots and really never gave much thought to what kind of marketing these islands, all of them in the whole chain, must have to do. It’s a pretty competitive world out there in corporate and travel industry America, and elsewhere in the traveling world.
When WAPA is going broke and former senators are going to jail and the Constitutional Convention only attracts four people it is kind of hard for us to think that anything really works - other than blenders and outboards - in the USVI.
We’re impressed with the tourism commission. It’s got its act together. And we just wanted to tell its story.
Plus. We have a house to rent.
Plus we’re about to spend the next couple of weeks running around the island for you after six dreadful, tie-wearing, weeks away and this stuff helped fire us up.
And Jade Anderson is hot. (You’ll see.)

Six weeks away - GASP - get back there, HURRY! Before something bad happens! Have fun and bring us back good $hit! Could have sworn when I first read this it said “they have their $hit together”. Maybe I need to get back there too! I’m starting to see things

It seems that they look at airline hub departures to say where we come from and it would make since if the planes leave these places for the islands that is where we have to leave from I hope the don’t forget to use some of there money out from these hubs.

Six weeks off, two weeks on… not a bad schedule. Hmm… mine is two years off, two weeks on. Gotta work on that. Been playing the lottery, but I’m starting to think the odds are against me. Time for Plan B?

Yes, you have a house for rent. The trick is finding an available week. Just found out Monday that all of January and February is booked.
One of these years, I’m going to spend a week at Bongo Bongo. I guess I need to be a better planner.
